My vibe is I don't want to volunteer to be on a committee but I do want to go watch my 7th-graders play volleyball

Do you need help? Or do you need time

[Paul Emerich France, #MakeTeachingSustainable @SustainTeaching]

One of my favorite things to ask kids is "Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?"

I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think--and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.

There is more to you than your resilience. You are also allowed to be sensitive, tender, and ready to embrace a more gentle pace.

Did I just use my very short prep time on an early release day to make Encanto memes about math? Yes yep. I did. I did do that.

One of my least favorite feelings in teaching is, "That went better last year." What helps me with this feeling is, "They don't know that." Keep going forward.
